Virgil Van Dijk has lauded Liverpool’s tenacity after the Reds triumphed in their fourth game despite trailing 1-0. The skipper said he is happy of the team’s desire to believe in itself and maintain composure.
Liverpool defeated Austrian team LASK in Linz on Thursday and Wolves last weekend. In both victories, Jurgen Klopp’s team trailed by a cheap goal in the first half before dominating the opposition in the second.
It means that the Reds, who overcame enormous challenges including two red cards and numerous crucial player injuries, enter their match against West Ham on Sunday at Anfield with 13 points from a possible 15 in the league and an undefeated record in Europe.
You must always have that belief, and it appears that we do, whether you start the game or sit on the bench.
The game (against LASK) got off to a poor start, but it was always going to be a challenge because of the 11 changes we made to the starting XI, which included several players who hadn’t played in a while. However, it doesn’t feel all that wonderful when you are 1-0 down with the set-piece at the half.
